Without further ado, Mu Xiaochuan, a man of action, decided to establish his Foundation and rid himself of the tireso mountain steps. Without hesitation, he turned and sped towards the town at the foot of the mountain.
In Qingling Town, Mu Xiaochuan made his way directly to Lingchen Immortal Abode, a shop renowned for providing secluded cultivation spaces for cultivators, known for its serene environnt and abundant spiritual energy. As Mu Xiaochuan entered the main hall, he was greeted by an overwhelming concentration of spiritual energy, like a warm spring breeze gently embracing him. The place was tranquil and mysterious, with runes flickering around, spiritual energy swirling, bringing a sense of peace.
"Greetings, sir. How long would you like to stay in seclusion?" the receptionist asked with a smile.
"Three days," Mu Xiaochuan replied.
"We offer four types of chambers: low, dium, high, and cave abode. The low-grade chamber costs 5 spirit stones per day..." the receptionist introduced with a smile.
Before she could finish, Mu Xiaochuan interrupted without hesitation, "I want the cave abode. How many spirit stones?"
"Alright, the cost for three days is 150 spirit stones." A hint of surprise flashed in the receptionist's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Mu Xiaochuan waved his hand, handing over the spirit stones without hesitation.
"Please follow , sir." The receptionist respectfully led Mu Xiaochuan to a secluded cultivation sanctuary at the back. It was a standalone pavilion with a sizable courtyard, not only serene but also equipped with a Gathering Spirit Array, ensuring that cultivators could fully imrse themselves without external disturbances during breakthroughs. Inside the room was a ditation mat, with ancient runes adorning the walls, exuding faint spiritual power under the dim light, like whispers from the past.
Mu Xiaochuan nodded in satisfaction. With his Thrill System, the cave abode didn't really affect his seclusion; he could have done the sa back at the sect. However, he was now accustod to luxury, opting for the expensive rather than the necessary.
He gestured for the attendant to leave, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the mat, taking a deep breath to absorb the rich spiritual energy in the room.
"It's ti to break through," Mu Xiaochuan murmured, opening the Thrill System panel with a thought.
[Host: Mu Xiaochuan]
[Thrill Points: 240]
[Realm: Seventh Level of Qi Refining]
[Cultivation Technique: Withered Tree Revives Technique (Minor Achievent), Dragon-Subduing Staff Technique (Entry Level)]
[Secondary Cultivation: None]
[Spiritual Artifact: Greenwood Spirit-Pattern Staff (Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact)]
"Let's first advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining," Mu Xiaochuan thought, consuming 30 Thrill Points to elevate his cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
He felt a warm stream of spiritual power flowing through his ridians, which had been blocked like withered branches, gradually becoming flexible and clear under the influence of this power, like rivers thawing in spring. His body trembled slightly like leaves in the wind, as the spiritual power surged wildly, repeatedly assaulting the seemingly unbreakable barrier between the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining.
After about three hours, "Breakthrough!" Mu Xiaochuan shouted, as the spiritual power within him surged like a flood, breaking through the barrier and successfully advancing to the eighth level of Qi Refining. He felt a significant increase in his strength, his lifespan extended, and his white hair began turning black, with spiritual energy circulating more smoothly within him.
Mu Xiaochuan stabilized his eighth-level Qi Refining realm, finally achieving stability after six hours.
"Again, spend 30 Thrill Points to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining," Mu Xiaochuan decided without hesitation, consuming another 30 Thrill Points. This ti, the spiritual power pouring into him was even more overwhelming, like a raging tsunami.
Gritting his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, Mu Xiaochuan fully activated his cultivation technique, directing the powerful spiritual energy like an invisible army, repeatedly assaulting the unyielding bottleneck between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his body trembling slightly under the imnse pressure.
After about three and a half hours, the bottleneck finally showed signs of loosening under the relentless assault of the spiritual power. Seizing the opportunity, Mu Xiaochuan increased the speed of spiritual energy circulation, fiercely attacking the bottleneck. Finally, with a deafening "boom," the rock-solid bottleneck shattered like it was struck by an invisible giant hamr, and Mu Xiaochuan successfully advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, with an unprecedented surge of power coursing through him.

Mu Xiaochuan stabilized his ninth-level Qi Refining realm, achieving stability again after six hours.
At this mont, Mu Xiaochuan felt as if his body had been reborn, filled with power.
His eyes glead with excitent, thinking, "Next, it's ti for the crucial breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt."
"Spend 100 Thrill Points to break through to Foundation Establishnt," Mu Xiaochuan took a deep breath and issued the command. The Thrill Points on the system panel instantly decreased by 100, and a vast spiritual power, like a sea of stars, surged into his body.
The spiritual power was so imnse that Mu Xiaochuan felt as if he were in a vortex of raging spiritual energy, his body being torn apart by the powerful force. His ridians crackled under the impact of the spiritual torrent, like strings about to snap, stretched to the limit.
Gritting his teeth, Mu Xiaochuan fully activated his cultivation technique, trying to guide the vast spiritual power into his dantian. However, the spiritual power was as boundless as the ocean, and despite his best efforts, it was like a drop in the sea, unable to make any impact.
Four hours later, as Mu Xiaochuan struggled to hold on, the system suddenly emitted a light that rged into his body, helping him stabilize and guiding the vast spiritual power to slowly converge towards his dantian.
As the spiritual power continued to gather, a swirling vortex of spiritual energy began to form in his dantian, like a black hole in the universe, devouring everything around it. The vortex spun continuously, drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Mu Xiaochuan could clearly feel the earth-shattering changes happening in his body. His bones beca harder, his muscles more elastic, his ridians thicker, his hair completely black and dense, and his body expelled a large amount of black impurities.
Finally, under the relentless impact of the vast spiritual power, the vortex in his dantian underwent a qualitative change, forming a seed that took root in his dantian. This seed emitted a gentle glow, seemingly containing infinite power.
"I did it, I've established my Foundation!" Mu Xiaochuan exclaid excitedly, feeling the surging power within him, his heart filled with joy.
After washing up, Mu Xiaochuan opened the panel with a thought.
[Host: Mu Xiaochuan]
[Thrill Points: 80]
[Realm: First Level of Foundation Establishnt]
[Cultivation Technique: Withered Tree Revives Technique (Minor Achievent), Dragon-Subduing Staff Technique (Entry Level)]
[Secondary Cultivation: None]
[Spiritual Artifact: Greenwood Spirit-Pattern Staff (Mid-Grade Spiritual Artifact)]
(Note: The Thrill Points required for advancing in the Foundation Establishnt stage are 100 for levels 2-3, 200 for levels 4-6, 300 for levels 7-9, and 1000 for advancing to the Golden Elixir stage.)
"Foundation Establishnt, I can finally fly with a sword instead of a staff," Mu Xiaochuan exclaid excitedly, picking up the Greenwood Spirit-Pattern Staff and stepping out of the chamber into the courtyard.
He channeled his spiritual energy into the staff, which imdiately emitted a dazzling light, a powerful force emanating from its body.
Mu Xiaochuan leaped onto the staff, and with a thought, the staff slowly rose, carrying him into the air.
"Haha, I'm flying!" Mu Xiaochuan shouted excitedly.
However, in his excitent, he opened his mouth, lost his spiritual energy, and fell off the staff.
"Again," Mu Xiaochuan dusted himself off and jumped back on.
After half a day of practice, Mu Xiaochuan finally mastered controlling the Greenwood Spirit-Pattern Staff to fly freely in the air.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully establishing the Foundation and mastering artifact flight, earning 50 Thrill Points."
The three days passed in a flash, and Mu Xiaochuan had thoroughly consolidated his Foundation Establishnt cultivation. Satisfied, he left Lingchen Immortal Abode and flew towards the Qingling Sect.
Flying with the staff was indeed much faster than walking. Before long, Mu Xiaochuan arrived at the Qingling Sect's mountain gate.
Just as Mu Xiaochuan returned to his residence and was about to enjoy the joy of his breakthrough, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Mu Xiaochuan asked in a good mood.
"Mu Xiaochuan, open up, it's the Law Enforcent Hall," said a voice outside.
Mu Xiaochuan was taken aback, puzzled, "What's the Law Enforcent Hall doing here?"
One of the Law Enforcent Hall disciples outside said coldly, "Absent from the sect for five consecutive days without reason, neglecting duties, violating sect rules. Deacon Mu, please co to the Law Enforcent Hall to receive your punishnt."
